	1.	Durrell, Gerald  A Zoo in My Luggage Penguin 1973 Paperback Paperback in average condition but very readable.Fans of Gerald Durrell's timeless classic My Family and Other Animals will love this hilarious tale, which finds him as an adult still charmed by his beloved animals. A Zoo in My Luggage begins with an account of Durrell's third trip to the British Cameroons in West Africa, during which he and his wife capture animals to start their own zoo. Returning to England with a few additions to their family-Cholmondeley the chimpanzee, Bug-eye the bush baby, and others-they have nowhere to put them as they haven't yet secured a place for their zoo. Durrell's account of how he manages his menagerie in all sorts of places throughout England while finding a permanent home for the animals provides as much adventure as capturing them. For animal lovers of all ages, A Zoo in My Luggage is the romping true story of the boy who grew up to make a Noah's Ark of his own. Price: 2.00 GBP

	8.	Durrell, Gerald Malcolm  My Family and Other Animals. Penguin Books March, 1977 Paperback Paperback in average condition. Very readable.AmazonAs a self-described ''champion of small uglies,'' English writer Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his life to writing and the preservation of wildlife, from the Mauritius pink pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. My Family andOther Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a delightful account of his family's experiences that were, according to him, ''rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas.''As a 10-year-old boy, Gerry left England for Corfu with ''all those items that I thought necessary to relieve the tedium of a long journey: four bookson natural history, a butterfly net, a dog, and a jam-jar full of caterpillars all in imminent danger of turning into chrysalids.'' Durrell's descriptions of his family and its many eccentric hangers-on (he stresses that ''allthe anecdotes about the island and the islanders are absolutely true'') arehighly entertaining, as is the procession of toads, scorpions, geckos, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, the puppies Widdle and Puke, and the Magenpies.This is a lovely book.Soaked in the sunshine of Corfu, where Gerald Durrell lived as a boy with his ''family and other animals,'' this book evocatively chronicles his five-year sojourn on the Greek island. With hilarious yet endearing portraits of his eccentric family and their many unusual hangers-on, My Family and Other Animals also captures the beginnings of Durrell's lifelong love of animals. In its passionate understanding of Corfu's natural history, this is an entertaining and enduring memoir. Price: 2.50 GBP
